Mortifying my kids one swimsuit at a time

YFMWNOEWL 2010 Edition

by Cheri-Beri on January 9, 2010

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s been awhile. Let’s just keep it simple and say the first holidays without my mother were horrible. I spent most of the time trying to keep myself from having a breakdown. But, it’s over, I’m feeling great and I’m lovin’ January. And the last thing she’d ever want me to do is sit around feeling bad.

And even though I haven’t been blogging for a month the 10’s of readers I have attracted keep looking at my site. How sweet of you. And the Googlers keep Googling away and giving me some pretty interesting material. So without further adieu . . . . . .

If you’re old enough to Google this, you’re old enough to be in charge of your own clothes. Hey, did my kids Google this?

why do we cover up baby jesusBecause in all our porcelean nativity scenes, his anatomically incorrect body would just confuse the children.

classic overreactorWhat? This came to my blog? This whole blogosphere makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life…*

cheri spooningYou gave me an idea. My husband likes to use “forking” as a substitute for a naughty word. The next time he does, I’m going to come back at him with, “You’re so spooning right!”
